The New York times continues to misinterpret our sport with a story on the style trends of snowboarding. Interesting fact: the SIA claims that in 2004 the number of snowboarders outnumbered the number of skiers. Interesting story, clearly written by an outsider, featuring styles from snowboarrding brands Burton, Secton, Volcom, Salamon, Juicy Couture, Patagonia, Kangol, Ellesse and Ralph Lauren.

Hmmm, it is nice to know that snowboarders outnumber the number of skiers nowadays. I have always thought that skiing is more popular than snowboarding.

What is their source. Obviously they just did a survey. It would be almost impossible to go around the world and count every pair of skis and every snowboard in every house. And by popularity, do you mean what people actually do, or what they like, or what they know about?
